JACKSON OPENS LAST FIGHT TO PREVENUNIAL Judge to Heap Arguments on Abatement Move Monday Morning. ILLEGAL JURY CHARGE? Claim Certain Members Were Not Qualified to Serve on Probe Group. Governor Ed Jackson’s last legal chance to prevent going to trial for an alleged attempt to bribe former Governor Warren H. McCray will materialise Monday morning, when Special Criminal Judge Oscar H. Montgomery hears arguments on a plea in abatement filed by the fenseThe plea was filed over objections of State’s attorneys Friday afternoon, after Montgomery overruled a motion to quash the indictment. With Jackson, Republican County Chairman George V. Coffin, and Robert I. Marsh, former law partner of Jackson, are alleged to have offered McCray SIO,OOO and a promise of immunity in Indiana courts if he appointed James E. McDonald county prosecutor in December, 1923. William P. Evans, son-in-lav; of McCray, resigned then when. McCray was being Investigated for his financial difficulties. Contends Jury Is Illegal Judge Montgomery will take the bench at 11 a. m. Monday to hear arguments and rule in the matter. The plea contends members of the grand jury were selected illegally because they were not enlisted to jury service consecutively and that Special Prosecutors John W. Holtzman and Emsley W. Johnson are not qualified to aid the Jury. In support of the Jurors’ status, attorneys Lewis Ewbank and Charles Wlltsie that jurors Harry Wangelin, John J. Madden and Ross S. Hill Jr., were selected July 4, from a list of six prospective servers brought in court; that on July 9, ten more citizens were drawn for service out of which William J. Mooney, Jury foreman, and W. C. Thiele were selected and that on July 11, the remaining members of the prospective list were recalled and Charles Bemloehr was chosen. Attorneys Are Attacked Under the defense averment, since Mooney, Thiele and Bemloehr were chosen from lists later than the first, they are not qualified to serve and, therefore, the jury had no right investigate the Jackson matter. In opposition to Johnson and Holtzman, it is alleged they were seelcted for the purpose of trying the contempt of court case against James E. Armitage and filing affidavits until a. jury was impaneled. They are “attorneys at law and have no authority to beln the jury room” the plea stated. The State’s objections to the plea set out that It was filed too late because the motion to quash had been filed, argued and ruled upon. Indictment Is Upheld Judge Montgomery in his ruling on the motion to quash held that: the indictment was sufficient to notify defendants of the nature of the offense; the date in the indictment is incorrect, but is immater'C because it was not the essence of the offense and the statute of limitations did not run because the crime was concealed from prosecuting authorities and the public by the threat against McCray relative to the power of the Ku-Klux Klan and the defendants in the case.

SANTA FILMS HERE; BROUGHT BY PLANE

Throng of Children Greet Flier, Who Gives Air Show for Them. Hundreds of Indianapolis children received their first 1927 Christmas thrill this morning at Stout-Cox airport, Mars Hill, where The Times staged the first aerial show ever held for children. The show was planned to give visible, thrilling proof of Santa Claus existence. For safely stowed away on the floor of Lieutenant Halstead’s plane were movies of Santa Claus taken by The Times polar expedition in Eskimoland. Holly Berry, special Times correspondent accompanying the expedition, has been sending a daily radio story from Santa Claus’ home in Eskimoland, and obtained these movies, which will be shown in Indianapolis neighborhood theaters. Berry told his readers how these films were started to Indianapolis by airplane and Halstead flew to Alaska to bring them to this city. Children Are Joyful It was a happy throng-of children who gathered early this morning at the airport and anxiously watched the northern sky for the first glimpse of the big Army biplane. Anxiety changed to Joy when a mere speck came in view which grew larger and larger until the roar of the motor assured the children that the movies—actual movies of Santa in his toyshop, library and with his reindeers—were really in Indianapolis! Lieutenant Halstead waved cheerily to the children before starting his thrilling exhibition. Then he took their breath away with nosedives, tail-spins, loops, barrel rolls, and a score of other thrilling stunts. Then Lieutenrnt Halsted brought the plane gracefully to the ground and was soon in the center of an anxious throng of children, who wanted to be assured that the films were safe. First Showing Tonight They will be shown in Indianapolis neighborhood theaters. Watch your theater and The Times for dates! They are authentic pictures, taken in northern Alaska by the Arctic explorer, Capt. F. E. Kleinschmidt, into which the Santa Claus theme has been woven. The films will be shown tonight at the Zaring Theater, Central Ave. and Fall Creek Blvd., and the Irving Theater, in Irvington. / Holly Berry is snowed in Santa Claus’ palace by the greatest Arctio blizzard in history. He has been unable to radio his regular daily story, but will resume as soon as the storm slackens.

90-Day Sentence Suspended, With Acquiescence of Prosecution. ' With acquiesence of the State, Criminal Judge James A. Collins today suspended James E. Armitage’s ninety-day contempt of court sentence. Armitage’s brother, William H. Armitage, city hall political boss during the late Mayor Shank’s administration, who was the principal State witness at the trial of Mayor Duvall on corrupt practices act violation charges, paid his brother’s SSOO fine. Although they declared, in effect, that James Armitage was not promised immunity for his brother’s testimony in the Duvall trial, Prosecutor William H. Remy and Special Prosecutors Emsley W. Johnson and John W. Holtzman said they had no objection to the Jail sentence suspension. The suspension followed a plea by Attorney Eph Inman last Saturday that Armitage would die if confined in jail. Dr. B. B. Pettijohn testified today that Armitage has suffered four paralytic strokes, that recurrence is likely, and that he could receive no treatment in jail. James Armitage was found guilty of offering Grand Juror Claude E. Achey a city hall Job and $2,600 to vote against indictment of John L. Duvall, then mayor. t When he was found guilty the jury, of which Achey was a member, was dismissed and the present jury, which returned the more than a dozen po)’ jal corruption probe indictments, was named.

In Stock Market

(By Thornton & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Calm appraisal of events In the midst of the current stock market excitement fails to disclose a basis for It other than the speculative enthusiasm of the moment. The assurances from from those in hig’A places that we fire entering upon another period of accelerated pros* perity, not to say a boom period, coupled with the abundant supply of money, has caused the orgy of buying of a few months ago to be resumed. In the absence .of adverse influences, this buying wave may continue for some time. But for one thing, Congress Is about to meet and there is no telling what surprising developments a day may bring forth. These pell-mell markets have a fashion of coming to an abrupt end. I think speculative trading at this time requires an unusual amount of caution.

CHIEF REMUS AID TELLS OF KILLERS FEAR Broke Down, Cried, When He Learned of Peril to Life, Says Connor. SLAYER’S STORY NEXT Ex-Bootleg King Will Go on Stand Monday to Tell of Shooting. COURTROOM, CINCINNATI, Dee. 3.—George Conners, Remus henchman, today te~.*\ed Mrs. Imogene Remus, once threatened the life of her husband and started to draw a revolver when Remus and others went to the Price Hill mansion in the hope of affecting a settlement between husband and wife. By PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent CINCINNATI, Dec. 3—The lieutenant of the Remus bootleg hosts will complete his testimony today, and, after that, the general. George Remus, charged with the murder of his wife, Imogene, will go to the witness stand to testify in his own defense as soon as George J. Connors, his henchman through the day of liquor-moneyed luxury, his former fellow-prisoner and his friend tlirough the turmoil of the last two years, is excused. But the remainder of Conners’ story and the attack upon it by the State probably will consume all of the short Saturday session, and Remus must await Monday before he can explain to the jury why he shot and killed his wife. Tried to 'Create Lady’ Conners, a slender, black-haired Irishman, already has told of many incidents which led him to the conclusion that Remus Was insane prior to the shooting. The man who for months was in almost daily association with Remus had a wealth of material to support the defense of insanity. The testimony of the “lieutenant” has followed closely that of other witnesses in regard to the effect that tales of the alleged intimacy between Mrs. Remus and Franklin L. Dodge, Jr., former prohibition operative, had upon Remus. He, like the other, has pictured Remus flying into rages at the mention of his wife’s and Dodge’s names. He has quoted his employer as saying, "My God, I picked her out cef the gutter, and tried to make A lady out of her, but she didn’t have it in her.” Feared Life in Danger But Connors has added two ..details to the story of Remus no other witness has produced. They are an account of the strong, self-centered defendant in a moment of fear and another of the domestic conversations between husband and wife. As to the fear that once was Remus’, the witness recalled that on the eve of the Jack Daniels distillery conspiracy investigation in the late fall of 1925, Remus believed his life was to be taken. “Remus drew up a will and broke down and grabbed John H. Druffel, his attorney,” Conners said. “Dr iff el got excited and I told Remus he was hurting DruffeL He said, ‘George, I’m gone, sure.’ Remus broke down and cried. “I told Remus I understood that when he was in Jail in St. Louis they were going to put three or four gunmen in Jail, fake a light and kill him and no one would know anything. He said he had the same information himself and that ‘it must be true.’ ” Then, telling of conversations between Mrs. Remus and her husband, Conners presented a three-act playlet, the acts coming on successive days. On the first day Mrs. Remus visited her husband, and admitted she had been “going around” with Dodge, but added: “You know daddy, there isn’t anything wrong morally about it, don’t you? Mr. Dodge has got something very valuable that belong? to me.”

She remembers only that she was stooping over to light the stove when suddenly she was hurled through space after a deafening explosion. The schoolhouse literally was swept away by the blast. Little Grace Johnson, 9, the only person in the school with the teacher, was unhurt. The victim’s clothing was torn to shreds, her face and head badly

SENATORS COLLIDE AS OPENING NEARS

Independents to Demand G. 0. P. Recognition; Filibuster Is Threatened. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent - WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—A1l Is confusion backstage in the Senate for the grand opening session of the seventieth Congress Monday. Leaders are tearing their hair over some of the prima donna statesmen; ultimatums are being seived by the respective factions; the Independent Republican group is demanding that its rights be recognized, and Senator David Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, is threatening to start the session off with a filibuster. Vare- Smith Loom Senator Curtis (Rep.), Kansas, floor leader, is attempting to make peace, but the groups do not appear to be in the mood for peace, and indications are that the session will start off with more than usual fireworks. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania Is aroused because of the threat that Senators-Elect Vare (Rep.), Pennsylvania, and Smith (Rep.), Illinois, may be barred. Curtis had worked out an agreement with the Democrats whereby Vare and Smith would stand aside etmporarily when Senators are called to the Vice President’s rostrum to receive the oath of office. Reed has made no public statement of his intentions, but leaders have been informed he will prevent anyone from being sworn if Vare and Smith are refused the oath. Curtis’ plan, If fololwed, would permit organization without raising at once the Smith-Vare eligibility issue. Ultimatum Served Reed’s threat, if carried out, would keep the Senate from organizing and would tie up everything at the outset. The Independents have served notice in writing upon the leaders that if the regulars want them to “play ball” in organizing the Senate, they must have assurances that their legislative program will be considered. They want a date set now for consideration of a farm relief bill, and they want a place on the legislative program for consideration of a bill to curb the use of court injunctions in labor disputes and a resolution calling for investigation of American diplomatic policy in Central America.

JURY HEARS BEACH HID AFTER MURDER

Defense Tries to Prove He Did Not Admit Killing Dr. Lilliendahl. BY SAM LOVE United Press Staff Correspondent COURTROOM, MAYS LANDING, N. J., Dec. 3.—Mrs. Helen Parker today testified in the Lilliendahl murder trial that from Sept. 27, to Oct. 5, Willis Beach was hiding in her home at Lenbrook Heights, Pa. During that time New Jersey officers were searching for him as a material witness to the murder of Dr. William Lilliendahl, for which Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl and Beach now are on trial. This evidence was given by Mrs. Parker and produced by the defense to show that Beach could not have been in Baltimore, Oct. 1. Samuel Bark, star witness for the State, had testified that he met Beach in Baltimore on that date and Beach had told him he killed Dr. Lilliendahl. Mrs. Parker said she knew Beach was wanted in New Jersey and that she hid him m the loft of her home. So well was he hidden, she said* that her father and her stepmother, who occupied the house with her, did not know he was there. Her husband, James, corrc#orated his wife’s testimony. Willis Beach himself followed as the next witness. Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m 23 9 a. m 26 T a. m 24 10 a. m. 28 8 a. m 24

Reed was ordered held under $46,000 bond. Reed, in making his confession, took obvious pride in discussing details of his plan. He told authorities how he had purchased the two sticks of dynamite instead of a wedding ring, and demonstrated how he picked the schoolhouse lock to gain entrance.

DEPOSITORS‘STUNG’TO PAY REALTY COMPANY’S DEBTS, COURT QUESTIONS REVEAL Former Official of Banking institution and Its Subsidiary Tells of ‘Sleight of Hand’ Shifting of Accounts. PRACTICE CONTINUED FOR YEARS Judge Dunlavy’s Searching Quiz Brings Full Details at Hearing to Set Aside Receiver Appointment. t (Story of Detailed Examination On Page 11) How $171,000 of the assets of the now defunct J. F. Wild & Cos. State Bank was used to pay th& debts of the Elevator Realty Company, a subsidiary firm of the bank, controlled by bank directors, was told Superior Court Judge William O. Dunlavy Friday afternoon. The story was revealed when attorneys for the realty company sought to set aside appointment of U. S. Lesh as receiver by the court Thursday on default on a receivership suit filed by Harry Meloy, stockholder. Otto B. Kern, former secretary-treasurer of the realty company and director of the bank, and Stephen M. Davis, 4189 Ruckle St., accountant who investigated the books of the bank and realty company, faced examination by Attorneys Thomas A. Daily and Charles T. Hanna, representing Meloy and Kurt F. Pantzer.

Kern told the court how realty company debts were paid by the bank and the accounts “straightened” by shifting amounts on the profit and lobs ledgers. The Marion County grand Jury wiU investigate the matter, it was said. Several pages of court testimony were turned over to Deputy Prosecutor William H. Sheaffer today. According to prosecuting officials, the investigation of the bank, which was started some time ago, has not been discontinued. Kern was hesitant in admitting this procedure, but was forced to answer bj Judge Dunlavy, who did much of the questioning. Davis first testified that the realty company, from 1921 until June 1, 1927, sixty days before the bank was declared defunct by State banking examiners, reeved advancements totalling $117,000. Brings Sum to $171,000 Under questioning of the court and Daily, he changed his testimony, declaring he omitted the 1926 advancement, which brought the total to $171,204.17. The books of neither company carry any record showing repayment of this money to the bank or its estate, Davis related. However, the books do show this money was paid to the realty company by the bank, he told Judge Dunlavy. Davis also testified that assets of the realty company were appraised at $65,000 by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board last January. Pantzer presented Kern with the profit and loss sheet of ttye bank, which carried expenditures made by the bank to liquidate dividends, preferred stock maturity, and other obligations of the Elevator Realty Company. Owns One Elevator

The Elevator Realty Company, records show, owns one grain elevator near Beech Grove, that is leased for $450 a month. Under the Indiana statutes, it is illegal for the board of directors of any company to pay dividends unless earned by the company. Testimony given Judge Dunlavy showed the realty company had not earned dividends since 1922 and that the bank was paying them along with the realty company’s debts. Judge Dunlavy refused the motion to set aside the receiver. “I am out of it now,” was the only statement made by J. F. Wild, president of the defunct bank. Pressed repeatedly for a statement, Wild referred the interviewer to Kern, who testified yesterday before Judge Dunlavy. Closed July 30 When the bank was closed July 30 a series of litigations was started. In the first. Probate Judge Mahlon E. Bash appointed Lowther and Iglehart receivers. They have sold more than sl,360,000 worth of the bank’s assets in parcels. The court’s first order directed them to sell them in one lot for not less than $3,650,000. The court appraised the assets at $3,750,000, but SIOO,OOO was removed from possible sale when Appel, Robert I.

‘Past Them’ Bank examiners knew nothing of the latest Wild transaction, State Examiner Luther Symonds said today, because “it is impossible for them to analyze every detailed tranaction.” A bank the size of the Wild institution would have about 1,000 separate transactions a day, and it manifestly would be impossible to go into each one of them, Symonds said. The bank’s affairs were taken out of the hands of the State department when the receivership was instituted, Symonds said.

made up of “accommodation” notes paid by them to the bank. Notes Are Renewed These notes were given in November, 1926, shortly after $271,000 worth of bonds were stolen. The notes were renewed in June of this year. Depositors formed a league and talked of holding a public meeting to protest handling of the bank’s funds, but have not yet done so. They expressed dissatisfaction over the possibility of only obtaining 93 cents on each $1 deposited. New York Stock Opening ■ —Dec.
